After over two years of intensive work and a series of singles that have achieved cross-sector success, the “May’Umka Deliba” project is launching a debut album with the best Jewish music artists.

Behind the project is Anat Shemesh, a Chabad emissary in Brooklyn who was born and raised in Israel, inspired by encounters with Israelis who were looking for the Jewish spark abroad and arrived at the Chabad house that she and her husband founded, the lyrics were born.

The album includes the new song, which is already shaping up to be a hit, “Ahavat Chinam,” performed by ten of the best Jewish singing stars. With Eyal Mazig responsible for the musical production.

The debut album launch concert was planned for the 3rd of Tammuz [June 29], known as the “Chag Hageula” in Chabad. And the creator of the project, Anat Shemesh, brought her arrival to Israel forward to visit her homeland and family, which she had not seen for nearly two decades since she left for the United States. But then the war with Iran broke out, and the concert was of course canceled. And for the first time in her life, Anat experienced the nightly alarms, the interceptions and the falls, and the extended stay in the shelter. And it was precisely in those moments and days in the shelter that her understanding of the trans-oceanic musical mission that had entered her was sharpened. With the end of the war, and miraculously, a new date was found at the “Beit Hayotzer” in the Tel Aviv Port [the place where the show was supposed to take place on the original date], only this time the date worked out for all the singers and artists participating in the album, some of whom could not participate on the previous date, all the musicians were available and it came out before Anat’s return to the United States. The show took place on the 13th of Tammuz, which is also a special day in the Chabad calendar and also coincides with the anniversary of the release of the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe from prison in Russia. The show was sold out two days before.
